SERVICE MANUAL

INTRODUCTION
Your new Marlon 350 Auto Crimper is designed to increase your
plastic spiral binding production. The Marlon 350 is an
inexpensive yet extremely versatile tabletop machine. The Marlon
350 cuts and crimps 6mm through 50mm coil, with an adjustable
binding length from 3.5-inches to 14-inches. The Marlon 350 is
capable of 50 cycles per minute, and features a coil waste chute
that uses standard plastic grocery bags for clipping waste
containment. The Marlon 350 is an operator friendly machine that
is easy to set up, allowing for quick changeover from one coil
diameter to another. We are confident that your new Marlon 350
Auto Crimper will be a valuable asset to your plastic coil binding
operation.
The following pages of this manual will cover machine setup,
operating procedures, and troubleshooting your Marlon 350 Auto
Crimper.

BLADE SELECTION
The Marlon 350 Auto Crimper features interchangeable cutter
blades. Your Marlon 350 was shipped with the B-size cutter blades
installed. Use the following chart to determine what blade size is
required for the coil diameter you are crimping.
A-size blades: 6mm and 7mm coil (Sold Seperately)
Note: Oversized punch patterns (.248) or punch patterns with a large backstop (distance
from paper edge to hole) will not work well with the A – size cutter head.
B-size blades: 8mm through 35mm coil up to and including .093
filament diameter with stop bolts in place. 38mm through 50mm
.103 filament diameter with stop bolts removed
C-size blades: 18mm through 50mm coil (Sold Seperately)
C blades give a slightly longer tail and tuck on the crimp
The cutter blades and cutter head assemblies have been color
coded to reduce the chance of improper assembly.
1.) Universal parts of the cutter head assembly that are used for
all three sets of knives are marked white. These parts are used all
of the time.
2.) A-size parts of the cutter assembly are marked red.
3.) B-size parts of the cutter assembly are marked green.
4.) C-size parts of the cutter assembly are marked yellow.
Note: Some parts of the cutter assembly are marked with two
colors. These parts are used on two of the three cutter assembly
configurations.
